Our vehicles play a critical role in our day-to-day lives. It’s essential to ensure they are in the best of condition and reliable in terms of safety and functionality. Axle shafts are a key component of any vehicle and are connected to the wheels to help them rotate and turn. Essentially, they control the power that gives wheels the ability to turn.
At ABC Balancing Beads, we are pleased to offer unique balancing beads to help with the equal distribution of weight in your vehicle’s wheels. Investing in ABC’s balancing beads can provide you with a sigh of relief and benefits such as improved fuel economy, extended tire life, even tread-wear, and so much more.
Causes of Unbalanced Axles
Your vehicle’s axle shafts are a significant component in supporting the vehicle’s weight to provide power to the wheels. When your axles are unbalanced, there can be severe consequences, potentially leaving you stranded on the road, not to mention the costly repairs that come with it. Here are a few reasons you may find yourself with unbalanced axles:
- Poor design: If the axle has been poorly designed, there’s a good chance it will result in an eventual failure and malfunction. A shorter shaft, for example, is more susceptible to sharp turns and can break easier than one that is longer.
- Driving technique: Sometimes, our driving habits can cost us. The way we drive can affect the axle, especially when it’s stressed. An axle shaft can also be damaged or bent when the vehicle is overloaded, as the extra weight can lead to failure.
- Worn CV Joint: CV joints are a critical part of the axle system as they are the component that attaches the driver’s shafts to the transmission and wheels. However, they can come under immense pressure and stress as they have to transfer consistent torque and adjust to the motion of the vehicle’s suspension.
